You have gotten yourself one beautiful set of straights.
That is not an insignificant set and it deserves to have the pivot pins removed and the shanks fully restored. IMHO.engine46 likes this.Bob

I was thinking of having the pivot pins removed and repinned by an experienced collector / shaver in the Netherlands -watch and learn-, as I haven't done pinning-work before; I don't want to mess things up. The cleaning and honing I sure want to do myself.

Beautiful, I was watching those if they are in fact the same set, congrats.
I have one of those razors, feather weight light, takes an uber edge, just was a little to light and small for my hand, after a couple of uses, could tell it would be a biter for me - a spectacular set in great shape, looking forward to seeing the next set of pics.

Beautiful set. From the pics I would say it's ivory.

I do hope it's ivory. When I'm back home from work this weekend I'll take some clear pics from the scales, and post them.

Very nice set and are great shavers. Looks like ivory. Look at it with a loop. Bone is very grainy, ivory has a nice tight grain pattern. Congratulations you will enjoy them.
